Rolling and Texturing Clay – It is important to have the right tools, use a mat and a clay roller to roll out your silver clay. When creating your piece, an understanding of the exact amount of clay you need and thickness required. Pretty much anything can be used to add texture to clay, you simply need to place your textured piece under your clay and roll.
Drying – drying time is important when working with silver clay. Before firing it is important that you let your piece sit and dry for at least 20 minuetes. Usually your clay packet will include such instructions.
Firing – Silver clay can be fired with either a handheld torch or a clay kiln, this is all dependent on the piece you are creating and the quantity. For torch firing you will need to understand how to move your flame, to heat your piece evenly, keep going until your piece is glowing under the torch and keep an eye on how the binder is burning away.
